Lug2Lug: A Must-See Vintage Tudor Small Rose

This is a truly remarkable watch. This Tudor Oyster is an original, beautiful example of a classic Rolex/Tudor time-only design. It features a beautifully preserved steel oyster case, small rose logo, creamy white dial, pointed hour markers, and Arabic numerals at 12,3,6,&9, chapter ring, and a blued steel second hand.

Its dial is accented by a caramel colored patina; a gradient from the inside out. This little piece is extremely handsome and, while slightly smaller than the average vintage dress piece, it sits comfortably and tastefully in any average sized wrist.

Tudor is an incredible value prop – made up to the standards of Rolex, designed by the best creators in the watch world, and a significant and functioning piece of history. And its price punches way below what you’d expect for those elements.
